Holloway just looked so slow against Volk in their third fight. And this is coming from a guy that picked Holloway to win that fight. It was sad to watch that fight. But Holloway has showed time and time again that when he takes a step down he beats the opponents at hand. So what is it? Holloway defeats Allen and hovers near the top of contention once again or he gets beat by the undefeated in the UFC Arnold Allen? I can see a case for both scenarios. I just really question Holloway's commitment to mma anymore. He's older, got a family, married, been in this game long time. Lots of wars.

Holloway vs. Allen
Max Holloway, DEC
i definitely think arnold could finish max, but i dont trust his cardio once they get past the second round, but mark my words, allen will be the first person to drop holloway official

Barboza vs. Quarantillo
Edson Barboza, DEC
i kinda want to go with barboza leg kick tko, since that is a very exposed spot in billy, but i think billy is to tough to go out with leg kicks, still, i don't think billy can properly pressure barboza and i don't think a grappling threat is present for billy to use, maybe the third round can get dangerous for edson, but i think a close 29-28 is my pick

Guida vs. García
Rafa García
clay has looked so wooden (pun intended) and rafa looks like he actual wants to fight tougher competition, don't think he'll gas, and has a high chance in finishing guida, but tbh im not sure how he gets it done

Vannata vs. Zellhuber
Lando Vannata

@Rah123

You said whoever had the worse picks for UFC 287 had to delete their account and never type in the message boards again.

I devoured your picks, can you explain why you are still here? Mezzor 2.0

He’s hiding. We made a deal that whoever did better on picks for last event would delete account. I literally doubled him in points. He is too much of a ***** to delete his account but he’s been in hiding ever since

Gonna add John Salter to that list! He just got a quality win and called it a career.

It's too rare though, unfortunately

Allen did an interview this week and he said he had a bumpy camp, not much more info. Hopefully not another hand injury.

@andrew wouldn’t shock me if he broke it during camp lol. He seems to be very injury prone 

@matanasovic good take. Garcia is really underrated & getting better each fight

Look at this worm. Finally reappears. When I issued you a challenge you dissapeared and were nowhere to be found. Only resurfaced now. Coward.

Want to put your money where your mouth is? In front of everyone here, take the challenge. Accept it.

This card. Whoever loses with their picks (straight picks only) deletes their account for good.

Cmon, what are you waiting for? Accept in front of everyone here so there can be no argument.

You already lost the last challenge you proposed to me, I was suspended for a few days so maybe that's why I "disappeared".

So basically you aren't a man of your word and coward out of the challenge you proposed ? Lol definitely not taking another 1. 

You already lost, request deletion of your account or become Mezzor 2.0 where your word means as much as my dogs feces.

You ****. You never accepted the challenge. You went into hiding. Like a coward. Not a hum or a whisper after I challenged you. So there was no bet and no deal. I certainly would not have put up picks with so many borderline underdogs if I had been challenging you. And now you suddenly reappear with all kinds of excuses. Lol. You worm.

But you have your chance now big man. Why don't we make that dissapearance permanent this time. 

Challenge is on. Do you accept? Or are you going to dissapear again like the lily livered coward you were last time. 1 on 1 challenge for this card. Direct picks of winners. Loser leaves town and deletes account permanently. 

Do you have the cohones?

I am going to absolutely annihilate you on this card. I have never been more confident in a card this year.


Waiting to see if you are willing to be destroyed.

Max on the decline and historically not great against southpaws. While he looked bad in his last fight with Volk, Volk also came very close to doing the almost unthinkable and beating Makhachev. Is Max on that hard of a decline, or is Volk just that good?

Hard to argue with Allen's resume but only so much to gleam from his last two fights, both of which come with an asterisk next to them. Knocking out Dan Hooker is impressive, but you also chinned a guy on a losing skid coming down a weight class. He looked really good in 1 round against Kattar before that fight unfortunately ended the way it did.

Can Allen out-wrestle/grapple Max and dominate positioning in enough key moments like he did against Sodiq? Tricky fight to call IMO. It's not that I don't think Allen can win, but Max is a really tough ask to beat in your first 5 round main event.
